Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country.

The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
